The Ars Legendi Faculty Prize for Mathematics and Natural Sciences is awarded for the categories of biosciences, chemistry, mathematics and physics and is awarded to people who have distinguished themselves through outstanding, innovative and exemplary achievements in teaching, advice and support at the university.
The prize is endowed with 5,000 euros for each category. The awardees are the Stifterverband für die Deutsche Wissenschaft, the German Mathematical Society, the German Physical Society, the German Chemical Society and the Association for Biology, Biosciences & Biomedicine in Germany.
Prof. Dr. Sebastian Seiffert from the Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz is the awardee of the Ars legendi faculty prize for mathematics and natural sciences in the chemistry category in 2023. He is recognized for his innovation in combining different teaching formats in the fields of physical and macromolecular chemistry. Particularly noteworthy is his achievement in creating a textbook that comprehensively deals with a course in physical chemistry in blended learning format. In addition, his commitment is recognized by taking up and bringing the current topic of climate change closer to students and a broad audience in courses, lectures and panel discussions.
Nele Milsch from the Faculty of Chemistry at the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen has made an important contribution to improving teaching with the SciTuition training concept. This concept prepares tutors professionally and didactically for their tasks, including supervision of internships in chemistry studies. The jury rated positively that there are in-depth modules and credit points for the tutors.
